The staff were so helpful & friendly, very informative especially because we also took our boat to fish at Mary River. The public toilets were so clean. The bar & restaurant was so clean, spacious, welcoming & cozy.
Love the swimming pool in a very hot day.
It is also a pet friendly camping area, which makes it even better....

Hubby and I spent the weekend here recently with 2 x 14 year old boys. Stayed in a family bungalow. Super clean. No kitchen only a kettle and a bar fridge however I took an extra esky for drinks, small portable BBQ and plates, cutlery etc. I also brought a plastic washing up tub so I could do the dishes...

We enjoyed our one night stay on way back to Darwin from Kakadu. Nice shady acreage under loads of gum trees. Irrigated so v green. A pool to cool down in. The cruise was a bit lame unfortunately and recommend a trip on the Corroboree cruise instead. Saw lots of freshies though.
Breakfast didn't offer good value but we were...

Moved to here from Jabiru, as Kakadu not what we expected. The service was very good, and the river "cruise" was better than the commercial providers at other locations. Saw more crocs and closer that other places. Recommend to travellers

The setting is gorgeous with birds everywhere and wallabies hopping around! We hired a buggy (first time I had ever driven one) to do the 6km river trail and managed to get lost. The signage needs to be improved on the perimeter as we ended up all the way at the boundary and couldn't find the bowerbird nest. We finally...

Cabin was an old 'transportable' with much needed A/C and ceiling fan. Bed very comfortable. Not serviced during our 3 nite stay. We were part of a tour group with meals included. When we had an actual 'meal', it was quite good. I like a big breakfast, but only got one. 'Continental' just doesn't hack it. Internet was irritating and...

Stayed here 2 nights in our caravan on a powered site near the river.
.Amenties good and had a nice grassy site for I think $35 a night two people and a dog.
They had their own little croc tour for an extra $30 a head which to be honest wasn't worth the money as it was quiet spotting the...

We spent 3 nights in a Safari Tent and would have loved to stay longer.
The tent was well equipped, consider in glamping rather than camping. It opened onto the lawn, with chairs out the front where you could spend the mornings/evenings watching the wallabies and birds.
There was plenty to do on site and nearby to keep us entertained...

We arrived late in the day (in a camper van), on a long weekend, without a booking & there were no powered sites available, but the staff called other caravan parks for us & when there were no vacancies elsewhere, they offered to allow us to connect to power from a permanent tent & when we didn't have the correct...
